To address these gaps, new regulations tailored specifically for nanotechnology need to be developed. These regulations should encompass several aspects:
Risk Assessment: Develop standardized methods for assessing the risks associated with nanomaterials. Transparency: Ensure that manufacturers disclose the use of nanomaterials in their products. Environmental Impact: Conduct thorough studies on the environmental effects of nanomaterials. International Collaboration: Harmonize regulations across countries to facilitate global trade and ensure safety.
